  • Dr George Philippides was very easy to talk to and I felt listen very carefully to what I had to say. He was able to make time to see me on short notice and used Saturday as the day which I think is great and usually not heard of for doctor appointments. He was highly recommended and I can see why. Additionally he will be looking at my actual SCANS verse just relying on the prior reports to help confirm my situation and give me confidence in my current treatment plan
